Melbourne · questions

About the Melbourne volume.

What is the best non-touristy guide to Melbourne?
Pin Reef’s Melbourne volume is a hand-picked Google My Maps file with 18,304 independent places — cafés, restaurants, galleries, record shops, bookshops and more — across 16 themed collections. Every pin is placed by a person, no chains, no tourist traps.
How do I open the Melbourne guide on my phone?
You import the file into Google My Maps once on a laptop (drag the .kml or .kmz into google.com/mymaps), then open the Google Maps app on your phone → profile → Saved → Maps. The Melbourne layer appears there and every pin is tappable for directions.
Does the Melbourne map work offline?
Yes. In the Google Maps app, download the Melbourne area for offline use (profile → Offline maps → Select your own map). Your custom layer of pins then works alongside the offline base map with no data connection.
How much does the full Melbourne volume cost?
The complete Melbourne volume — all 16 collections, 18,304 places — is a one-time $55.90 download. You can also buy a single collection from $5.90, or the indie-coffee + indie-restaurants pair on its own.
